Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology (also known as TJHSST, TJ, or Jefferson) is a Virginia state-chartered magnet school located within Fairfax County, Virginia. It is a regional high school operated by Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS).

As a publicly funded and administered high school with a selective admission process, TJHSST is often compared with notable public magnet schools, although it discontinued non-application based admission after the class of 1988. Attendance at TJHSST is open to students in six local jurisdictions based on an admissions test, prior academic achievement, recommendations, and essays. The selective admissions program was initiated in 1985 through the cooperation of state and county governments, as well as corporate sponsorship from the defense and technology industries. TJHSST occupies the building of the previously FCPS non-selective Thomas Jefferson High School (constructed in 1965). TJHSST is one of 18 Virginia Governor's Schools, and a founding member of the National Consortium for Specialized Secondary Schools of Mathematics, Science and Technology. In 2016, TJHSST placed first in Newsweek's annual "America's Top High Schools" rankings for the third consecutive year and fifth in US News & World Report's 2016 High School Rankings.

Students

The acceptance rate at the school is low, at approximately 15 percent. There were 1,792 students enrolled for the 2016–2017 school year. Students of Asian origin constituted around 60% of the student population in 2013–14. Black and Hispanic people make up less than four percent of students, while the same groups constitute about thirty percent of the student population in the area.

In 2012, a civil rights complaint against the school was filed with the U.S. Department of Education Office of Civil Rights by Coalition of the Silence, an advocacy group led by former county School Board member Tina Hone, and the Fairfax chapter of the NAACP. In response, the Office of Civil Rights, in September 2012, opened an investigation.

Participating localities

While TJHSST is operated by the Fairfax County Public Schools system (which serves residents of Fairfax County and the City of Fairfax), residents of Arlington, Loudoun, and Prince William counties, as well as the City of Falls Church, also apply to attend the school. A particular number of admission slots is allotted to each participating locality. In March 2006, the Alexandria School Board voted 7–2 in favor of allowing a maximum of two students from Alexandria to attend the school, although a subsequent vote (5–4) in September 2006 rescinded that earlier decision. Each school district shares in the cost of operating the school. The independent cities of Manassas and Manassas Park, although surrounded by Prince William County, have declined to fund spaces for their students. Fauquier County no longer provides admission to the school for its students.

Curriculum

TJHSST offers an extensive mathematics and science curriculum, including courses in artificial intelligence, computer vision, parallel computing, organic chemistry, neurobiology, nanobiotechnology, marine biology, DNA science, signal processing, computational physics, and quantum mechanics. The school also offers a rigorous mathematics program, offering courses such as differential equations, complex variables, multivariable calculus, linear algebra, probability theory, and concrete math. All courses at TJHSST are taught at the Honors, Advanced Placement, or post-Advanced Placement level. All students are required to complete Calculus (AB or BC), in addition to either AP English Language and Composition or AP English Literature and Composition and AP United States Government and Politics, before graduation. All students are required to complete an introductory Java or an accelerated introductory Python computer science course before their junior year, or, subject to a placement test, an Advanced Placement Computer Science A plus Data Structures computer science class.

The school also offers a strong humanities and foreign language curriculum. Japanese, Chinese (Mandarin), and Russian are taught in addition to the more traditional German, French, Spanish, and Latin. Every other year, Pskov State Pedagogical University students from Russia visit TJHSST. In 2013, the language department celebrated the twenty-year anniversary of its sister school relationship with Chiben Gakuen High School, a Japanese high school famous for its baseball program. Each year in March, ten exchange students and one teacher come to spend a month in the US. TJHSST students are given the opportunity to reciprocate during the summer with the school's Chiben Summer Program.

TJHSST also offers its IBET (Integrated Biology, English, and Technology) program to ninth graders. Students spend nine class periods a week with the same group of peers, and the IBET teachers work together to produce an integrated curriculum. The technology aspect of the program (Design and Technology; formerly Principles of Engineering and Technology) stresses drafting, CAD, programming, and basic electronics skills. Students will form a group of four, known as an "IBET group," and the group will work on an year-long project with a presentation at the end of the school year. Integrated humanities courses are offered in 10th and 11th grade, known as HUM 1 and HUM 2, respectively. An option to integrate Chemistry into 10th grade humanities, similar to IBET, is available as the "CHUM" concept. Seniors will chose between integrated course curriculums known as Global Studies and Senior Seminar. The former combines AP English Language and Composition with AP United States Government and Politics, and the latter combines AP English Literature and Composition with AP United States Government and Politics. There is also the option to not participate in any integrated courses as a senior.

All students attending TJHSST must pursue a special TJ Diploma. The TJ Diploma requirements duplicate those of the Virginia Advanced Studies Diploma with additional mathematics, computer science, earth science, and engineering requirements.

Research Labs

Seniors must participate in the Senior Technology Laboratory Research program, which consists of a year-long research project or an off-campus mentorship through one of the school's research labs. These labs are devoted to numerous fields, including computer science, robotics, microelectronics, chemistry, prototyping, optics, computer aided design, astronomy, neuroscience, biotechnology, and oceanography. Recently, labs have been introduced devoted to communication systems and web and mobile apps. The complete list of the 14 research labs that TJHSST offers is:

1. Astronomy and Astrophysics Research
2. Automation and Robotics Research
3. Chemical Analysis and Nanochemistry Research
4. Communication Systems Research
5. Computer Systems Research
6. Energy Systems Research
7. Engineering Design Research
8. Life Sciences and Biotechnology Research
9. Microelectronics Research
10. Mobile and Web Application Development Research
11. Neuroscience Research
12. Oceanography and Geophysical Systems Research
13. Quantum Physics and Optics Research
14. Prototyping and Engineering Materials Research

There was formerly some debate over the inclusion of the Video Technology Lab, responsible among other things for producing the school's video morning announcement program. It was ultimately decided that the Video Technology Lab would be closed, despite an active letter writing campaign by students to the Board of Education. However, a similar lab taught by the same teacher, the Communications Systems Lab, was introduced for the 2009 school year.

In 2014, the Jefferson Underclassmen Multidiscipline Project (JUMP) lab was introduced to allow freshmen, sophomores, and juniors to conduct research projects at TJ.

Accreditation

The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement (SACS CASI), which is an accreditation division of AdvancED and the regional accrediting body for secondary schools in the region including Virginia, has accredited TJHSST since the magnet program was founded in 1985.

Awards and distinctions

Each year, about one-sixth of its graduating class accepts admission to the University of Virginia. The other major schools attended by graduates are the College of William and Mary, Virginia Polytechnic Institute, Duke University, Princeton University, and Stanford University in that order. Other graduates attend Ivy League schools and high-ranking public and private schools across the nation, including the University of California, Berkeley, Cornell University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Columbia University, and the University of Pennsylvania. Approximately one-eighth of the class is admitted into an Ivy League institution.

In 2016, TJHSST placed first in Newsweek's annual "America's Top High Schools" rankings for the third consecutive year. Previously, it ranked 8th in the 2013 rankings and 10th in the 2012 rankings, the first year it was included. TJHSST was ranked No. 1 among "America's Best High Schools" in a study by U.S. News and World Report from 2007 to 2010. In the same rankings, it placed fifth in 2016, third in 2015, fourth in 2014 and 2013, and second in 2012 and 2011. The average SAT scores for various graduating classes has consistently been above 2150.

In 2007, TJHSST had more Intel Science Talent Search Semifinalists (14) than any other school. TJHSST repeated this feat in 2009 with 15 semifinalists and in 2010 with 13 semifinalists.

In 2007, for schools with more than 800 students in grades 10–12, TJHSST was cited as having the highest-performing AP Calculus BC, AP Chemistry, AP French Language, AP Government and Politics, U.S., and AP U.S. History courses among all schools worldwide. In 2014, 3864 AP Exams were taken by TJHSST students; over 97% earned a score of 3, 4, or 5.

In addition, eight Rhodes Scholars have graduated from TJHSST since its inception, more than the number of Rhodes Scholars from most colleges in the United States.

President Barack Obama signed the America Invents Act into law on September 16, 2011 at TJHSST. The law was made to reform U.S. patent laws.

Recent developments

Renovation

The school is currently undergoing a major renovation, which should be completed by the end of April 2017. The renovation cost of about $89 million includes $67.4 million for construction, plus other costs related to permits, design fees, utilities and equipment. A replica of Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello dome graces the school’s entrance, colloquially known as "The Dome" by students and staff. The renovation overhauls the school's aging facilities, many of which had not been updated since the school was built in 1964.

TJSat project

TJHSST Systems Engineering Course designed and built a CubeSat which was launched on November 19, 2013 from Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. Orbital Sciences Corporation donated the CubeSat Kit to the school on December 6, 2006 and provided the launch for the satellite. After a successful launch at 8:15PM, TJSAT became the first satellite launched into space that was built by high school students. The launched satellite contained a 4-watt transmitter operating on amateur radio frequencies, and a text-to-speech module to allow it to broadcast ASCII-encoded messages sent to it from Jefferson.

Embezzlement Case

TJHSST employee Susan Thanh Litwin of Woodbridge, Virginia embezzled more than $279,000 from the school between about March 2008 and January 2010. Working as a finance technician and using her signature authority, she was able to transfer funds that were intended for school use into her personal accounts, which she then used to support a gambling addiction. She was arrested on March 5, 2010. She pleaded guilty to the charges on May 6, 2010 and was sentenced to 15 months in prison on August 13, 2010.

School features and activities

The current hybrid class schedule allows seven periods to meet on Mondays, with "block scheduling" (four classes per day) the rest of the week. Though no formal academic classes are offered during eighth period, it is a required part of a school day. Wednesday and Friday's eighth periods are devoted to study halls, clubs, athletic teams, and other extracurricular activities. The eighth period is possible with TJHSST's school day, which is longer than other FCPS high schools'. As a magnet school, students may live more than an hour away, making staying after school a challenge. (An elaborate school bus network provides all students with free transportation. All participating jurisdictions are responsible for transportation of their own students.) Every Monday, lunch runs at 70 minutes instead of the usual 40, allowing for teacher collaboration and conferences, known as Jefferson Learning Community (JLC).

Computer Systems Lab

The Computer Systems Lab (CSL, often shortened to "syslab") at TJHSST is one of the rare high school computing facilities with a supercomputer. In 1988, a team from the school won an ETA-10P supercomputer in the SuperQuest competition, a national science competition for high school students. The ETA-10P was damaged by a roof leak in the 1990s. Cray Inc. donated a new SV1 supercomputer, known as Seymour, to the school on December 4, 2002. The supercomputers have been used in research projects by students and may be used in a course for students taking the advanced computer science class entitled Parallel Computing (formerly Supercomputer Applications). As the Cray's computing power has been dwarfed over the past decade, the CSL now operates several server clusters for Parallel Computing and student research projects.

One of the aspects of this lab is student involvement. Since the early 1990s, designated student system administrators (often referred to as "sysadmins") have maintained the lab's workstations and servers, including the upkeep of the school's E-mail, web site, and intranet, among other services. The syslab is currently running Gentoo Linux on most of the CSL resources. Over the years, students in the Computer Systems Research course as well as the sysadmins have worked to improve the computer resources in the school. A system administrator understudy program is in place in order to train aspiring sysadmins. Understudies learn common tasks such as workstation maintenance and Linux installation, as well as CSL-specific administration procedures.

Intranet

One project developed in the "syslab" was the TJHSST Intranet. This large web application was an early venture into PHP, and is known for bringing Rasmus Lerdorf, the original creator of PHP, to the school for a visit. It was made as a replacement for the aging mechanically based Eighth Period scheduling system, but now it also provides features such as access to files on the school's intranet and the student directory. In the mid-2000s, the Intranet2 ("Iodine") project was developed in order to redesign and reimplement the Intranet system with object-oriented programming and modern versions of PHP in mind. It was released on May 18, 2006, but was continuously improved by students over the next decade.

In 2013, several Sysadmins began a Python rewrite of the Intranet application (codenamed "Ion") using the Django web framework and responsive web techniques. It replaced Intranet2 in November 2015 and, like previous versions of the TJHSST Intranet, will continue to be developed indefinitely as a student-run project of the Computer Systems Lab.

Thin clients

The lab also supported a number of Sun Microsystems thin clients for use by students enrolled in AP Computer Science. In 2008, TJHSST was awarded a grant from Sun Microsystems for $388,048, which was student-written. The Syslab was given 7 Sun workstations, 12 Sun servers, and 145 Sun Rays for distribution throughout the school. These were placed in the existing AP Computer Science Lab and the science classrooms, support backend services, and serve as kiosks placed around the school for guests, students, and faculty. However, the Sun Rays were taken out of the AP Computer Science Lab due to teachers' objections. By 2014, the Sun Ray clients were decommissioned, and replaced with Linux-based thin clients running LTSP.

Performing arts

The drama program has performed three major plays each year. One of these productions is entered as a Cappies show in the National Capital Area chapter. Another is the annual Knight of One Axe (Night of One Acts), which consists of mostly student-directed plays and occasionally has student-written plays. The independent Shakespeare Troupe student group performs Shakespeare plays throughout the year.

The orchestra program is currently directed by Allison Bailey.

In 2013, the wind ensemble of the school was among fifteen high-school bands invited to the Music for All National Concert Band Festival in Indianapolis.

Model United Nations

The Model United Nations club is the largest regularly meeting organization in the school, with roughly 150 regular participants. Its Officer Corps includes over 20 members, including the Secretariat (Secretary General, Under-Secretary General, Senator and Arbitrator). The club has been successful in national competitions, competing for awards at conferences hosted by the University of Virginia, William and Mary, and the University of Pennsylvania (ILMUNC), and winning the Best Large Delegation award at WMHSMUN XXII and XXIII and the equivalent award at VAMUN. TJHSST's Model UN also won the Outstanding Large Delegation award at ILMUNC XXVI. TJMUN hosts its own conference each spring, TechMUN.

Athletics

The school's rowing teams have won medals at the Stotesbury Cup Regatta and Scholastic Rowing Nationals regattas.

School teams have won 18 VHSL state titles in athletic activities, all at the AAA level until 2013, then it moved to the newly formed 5A Division:
